Post Production Workflow: Ingest Video

Proper digital video input guarantees organization.

In a past blog, we discussed maintaining raw video source, today we’ll discuss a simplified digital video workflow. The digital video workflow is split into three basic components: input, editing and output. We’ll start by discussing input, which I believe to be the most important component of the workflow.

Video Assets Embedded in a Web Page

Using YouTube to deploy video on your website.

Last week, in a blog entitled “HTML5 for Video Assets”, we discussed the most universal formats of video for deployment on the web.

HTML5 for Your Video Clips

One size fits all is very hard to find.

Like most editors these days, I need to post video samples that are accessible to prospects. If you visit my video gallery page, you can find different samples of my work.

Unfortunately, Apple’s mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad do not support Flash.

For me, creating photographic panoramas has always been a passion, now I can do it using only an iPhone.
